Tulsi Gabbard attended the FBI's seizure of 700 ballot boxes during a criminal inquiry into 2020 election fraud claims at Trump's direction, sparking bipartisan scrutiny.
- On Feb 2, President Donald Trump spoke to some FBI agents a day after they searched a Fulton County election office last week, the New York Times and Reuters reported, citing three people.

- The development has intensified concerns about federal interference, with Davis Ingle defending the work, stating `DNI Gabbard and FBI Director Patel are working together to implement the president's election integrity priorities, and their work continues to serve him and the entire country well`.
